Publisher's Blurb:

"Every true friend of the cause of Temperance should examine the merits of the stories that will be published--so they are in a new field--vastly different from the usual tract literature, and cannot fail to be of benefit in advancing the interests of the giant question of the day. In a series of LIVE, BRIGHT STORIES. The evils of Intemperance will be pictured in colors that are true to life, adding neither lighter nor darker tints, and while painting a moral, doing so in a manner quiet, yet forcible.
